e FIRE-GLAzlNc-r. MACHINE.

To all whom it 'may con/cern: Beit known that I', MICHAEL J. OWENS, a citizen of the United States of America, re.v siding at Toledo, in the county of L`ucas and State of Ohio, United States of America, have invented certain newand useful Improve-v of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings;

The invention relates to new and useful machines, comers for thegglass articles, so constructed andgarranged that thearticles may be directed into theholder at one endof the carrier and delivered theref,

from at the other end, .w'itliintermediate glazing means for the articles inthe holders.

described and claims.

4The invention further consists the 'construction, arrangement and combination of thel various parts, as more fully, hereinafter particularly pointed out in the In the drawings, Figure 1 isa planview. of my improved iire'glazing machine; Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof; Fig.,3 is a lvertical section on line -f.r, Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of a rportion of a glass shaping kmechanism,showing it delivering a bottle to a spout leading to the fire-glazing machine. L I have shown .the'machine in this application as especially designed and arranged to automatically receive ay bottle or other article from a glass shaping or blowing machine, and I have shown aportion of such a glass shapin machine as is described inthe patent to M. y Owens N o. 766,768, dated August 2, 1904. I do not deem it necessary'to describe the construction of that machine'in detail, but it gathers the necessary glass from 'the tank, shapes it into a blank and blows it, and thenat a certain point in thetravel of the y blowing molds' they lower and open in a hori-l zontal plane, so as to discharge the bottlet'herefrom, as Shown in Fig. 4.

A represents the blowing molds of a glass blowing machine in their lowered andopen position, as discharging the bottle B, which falls upon the spout C directly therebeneath,

and this spout is inclined suliciently so that the bottle will travel by gravity to the lower end of the spout, whichpreferably has the tubular portion D Jfrom which it`.will be projected into a holder D on an endless carrier Specification of Letters Patent.

the bottle, w

of the fire-glazin machine. This carrier I haveshown as a `c ain carrier, working in a vertical plane and passing over and'supported on thelwheels F` at opposite' ends of a4 frame Gr.l

The endless carrier is driven by any suitable mechanism vpreferably, intermittently,

and I have shown adrive connection consisting of the drive shaft F', on whlch 1s the Patented May 28,1907.

wheel F on whichjis an armv G having a- -roller wrist I, ada ted to engage with the slots ain the star w eel I on the shaft J. Onl

thi's'shaft J isagear J meshing with a gear 'wheel J on the shaftK, which shaft K carries one of the carrier wheels F.

-The holders D are shaped, when the device is used forbottles, to correspond to the sha e of the-bottle which is to be glazed, and so dhat the bottle will project therethrough, the neck bein at thelower end as shown in Fig. 3,'whibe t e bottom of the bottle will be flush with or lproj ect slightly above the top. At a suita le point -or oints in the horizontal run of the carrier provide suitable.

burners, preferably consisting-of the tube L, linedwith a refractory material,and a nozzle M, supplied. with air and gas in proper proportions directed therethrough so that the flame will pass through the tube L and 1mpinge u on the bottom of the bottle.' Be- .neath, provide a similar tube N and anozf zle N for pro'ecting a flame upon the neck of ich as shown projects through the holder. n

i have shown in this instance two of these burners, so that at two points in the travel the bottle will be relazed at op osite ends. y

When the machine is usedp in connection with such a machine as that shown in the Owens patent referred to, the mechanism is timed -so that one of the holders D will be presented withA its upper end opposite the tubular portion D of the spout O, as shown at the left, Fig. 2, and when thus presented the -bottle will be drop ed by theblowing ma- IOO v shaping glass larticles, a

the bottle therefrom automatically upon a spout, carrier or table O.

The machine thus constructed is exceedingly simple in construction and operation, and while I have shown it and claimed it in connection'with a 'machine for'shapin glass articles, it is evident that it may be ged `by hand if desired, and also ployed for nre-Glazing the bottle or other article as it travels from the receiving point to the delivery point. i

What I claim as my invention is:

holder ithereon, and means for feeding by gravity the article delivered from the shaping machine endwise into said holder.

3. The combination with a machine for l shaping glass articles, a {ire-glazing machine adjacent thereto having a tubular holder, land a chute ada ted to direct an article deliv ered from the s raping machine endwise into the holder.

4. The combination in a nre-glazing machine, of a carrier moving in'an upright plane, va tubular holder thereon and a spout for delivering the articles endwise `by gravity into the holder.

5. The combination ina re-glazing machine 4of a carrier moving in an u right plane, a tubular holder thereon and elivery and discharge spouts for delivering the articles endwise thereto andv receiving the articles discharged therefrom. j

- 6. The combination in a {ire-glazing mathat other forms of l burners, glory-holes or Jfurnaces may be em- I chine, of a carrier moving man upright plane, series of tubular holders thereon open at 1g bottles thereto and therefrom and lireglazing means at both ends of th'e holders.

7. The combination in a iireiglazing machine, of an endless carrier thereon moving in a vertical plane, upright tubular holders lixed transversely of the carrier, a delivery spout at one oint, means for intermittently actuating t ie carrier and stopping it'with the 1 opening in the holder opposite the spout, and

l both ends, means for automatically deliverl a burner or furnace adapted to direct its heat upon that ortion of the article at the lower end of the lIiolder. v

8. The combination with a glass shaping machine, of a carrier to which the articles are delivered endwise by gravity from said mashape of the article,

9. The combination with a bottle shaping machine, of a carrier to which the articles are delivered endwise neck downward` and tubu- .lar holders on the carrier the shape of' the iinished article adapted to hold the bottles or jars in inverted vertical position. l 10. The combination with a bottle shaping machine of means for delivering the bottles -endwise neck down and a carrier vhaving holders shaped to receive the inverted bottles.

1 1. The combination with a bottle shaping machine of a carrier, holderson the carrier the shape of the body of the bottle having an opening in the bottom through which the neck may project, and a. furnace or burner beneath the holders adaptedto heat the projecting neck portion.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
